The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over West Sussex we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely never crank the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the practical competence and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

I'd had a great evening hiking during the weekend and felt satisfied the next morning as I headed out to aid a new couple who were holidaying in West Itchenor. They'd broken down after putting petrol into their metallic blue Renault Twingo, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and laughed as I heard to the woman telling her husband off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this happens continuously in West Sussex and that it is nothing to be concerned about, and yet he yet still had an earful. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and pondered on what my missus would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car West Itchenor

Now I'm not ever that keen on doing work on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had just left the wife and kids following a superb Sunday roast prepared for me by the better half, and I was en route to assist a guy who filled the wrong petrol in his rust red Hyundai Elantra. He was only in West Itchenor and so I arrived there soon. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my attention on stuff and failed to perceive I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about damage simply by starting it?" I said that generally there probably should not be any harm and that I would drain the wrong fuel at once for him. It goes without saying that I removed the fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and thus yet another satisfied motorist was able to continue their traveling without difficulty. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what tends to make working on weekends in West Sussex just that small bit better for me!

This was certainly what we call an unsociable hour to be up. It was close to 2 in the morning and almost noone was about. It had been quite quiet so far, and Brian and I were sitting reading some old magazines. That was a rare tranquil hour in West Sussex. It was so calm that the instant the phone ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice explained: "I ended my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel silver Cadillac Brougham in error". We told him to tell us where exactly he was and we headed out, getting to him in West Itchenor only half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the car and he said thanks for showing up so fast. While we were coming back to the depot we noticed two young ladies at the side of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over to change it, to their delight.

General Petrol in Diesel Warning signs:

Here is a list of customary wrong fuel symptoms:

  • Loss of engine power
  • Vehicle dying, spluttering or even coughing
  • Issues starting the engine
  • Abnormal smoke

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
